That has not been reported to be the official cover. Someone made that. It says so on the website that posted it.

That is not the cover.

The cover is very fitting this year, I love it.

Some nice promises here, especially the part about the AI cutting/picking/posting up on offense without being told via a predetermined play. That is the one thing I have always hated about the offense in this game: your teammates stand around and do nothing unless you call a set play.

It's also funny to see 2K steeling from EA for a change with the additions of 5 vs. 5 online play and the whole "DNA" thing. Competition is a beautiful thing.

You work there? Why do you guys think it's a good idea to have menus that don't load when you launch the game? Are there a lot of players who like to just launch the game but don't actually want to play it?

Name 5 games that isn't named Grand Theft Auto that takes you straight to the game without having a title screen. Why should the NBA series be any different?

Ah man I can't wait for 5 on 5. I'm a beast point guard with sick defense. I'm bringing home some rings!

# 110 theming @ 07/19/08 10:18 PM

The gameplay is what counts. I want the game to feel different each time I play a team in the Association. This is what matters. I like to play on the hardest level also. I can expect to see another Lakers Celts int he finals but this time itll be different. Imagine playing five on five on-line. You are Kobe. Your team mates have cleared the way for you to take Paul Pierce to the hoop for a jumper or whatever. This 5 on 5 thing will be great for hard core players. I CANT WAIT!!!!!!!!

# 111 Pappy Knuckles @ 07/19/08 10:21 PM

no doubt. imagine when squads start getting good online. those games that come down to the last shot are gonna be intense as hell.

Why you laugh I'm kind of shocked. That game looked better than the NBA 09 players models on PS3. And that's a past gen console game. Not to mention the animations were pretty damn good. I slept on that game.

Look at this video someone made mimicking the 2008 playoffs on starting five.

I asked him that last year and he still hasn't answered.

Dude, if you are a team player and you have a squad of Bynum, Gasol, Odom, Kobe, and Fisher. I dont mind being either of them because I know how to play the game. I played in high school and college and I am hard core at this game. If there is 10 secs on the clock and I am Kobe, I should have the ball in my hands and if my team mates want to win they would know to put the ball in the hands of the man with the master plan which is Kobe.

I am a team player for those of you who be on PS3. If we were 5 on 5 and I had the ball with Kobe, I would drive and hope the defence crashes and kick out to a open Fisher or Sasha IF, IF I couldnt get the shot off. While driving to the lane I would need Bynum and Gasol some what away from the basket until the shot went up in hopes of crashing the boards hard in case the shot didnt fall. I am all about winning and getting everyone involved in some sort a way.

I'll be the jackass shooting it every chance I get. You can call me Zach Randolph if you'd like.

PS3 5-5 is going to be badass.
